In May 2016, in the middle of Donald Trump’s first run for president, the salad chain Sweetgreen announced a cheerful clean-eating campaign called “Make America HealthyAgain” centered on the removal of bacon and Sriracha from its menus. The slogan went into disuse — it was briefly resurrected by a radiologist and Fox News contributor who released a book in 2020 by that name — until it resurfaced in grand fashion on August 23 of this year, when Robert F. Kennedy Jr. suspended his presidential campaign and threw his support behindTrump. At a joint rally that night in Glendale, Arizona, Kennedy told the audience that, despite their differences on other issues, he and Trump had bonded over a shared commitment to restoring the nation’s health and fitness. “Don’t you want a safe environment for your children?”Kennedy asked. “Don’t you want to know that the food that you’re feeding them is not filled with chemicals that are going to give them cancer and chronic disease? And don’t you want a president who is going to make America healthy again?”
